Summary0012051: MSVC, Linker option "/MANIFEST:NO" can not work
DescriptionHi, CMake Term!!
CMake is a great Build System, Many thanks for your work!!
And now I meet a question, and can't solved it by myself.
I am reading the CMake source, and find the local variable 'hasManifest' always been true.
---
int cmake::VisualStudioLink(std::vector<std::string>& args, int type)
{
  ...

  if(hasIncremental && hasManifest)
    {
    if(verbose)
      {
      std::cout << "Visual Studio Incremental Link with embeded manifests\n";
      }
    return cmake::VisualStudioLinkIncremental(expandedArgs, type, verbose);
    }
----

Here is my CMakeLists.txt
---
project(SdkWindow)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

add_definitions(-D_UNICODE -DUNICODE)
set(CMAKE_LINK_FLAGS "${CMAKE_LINK_FLAGS} /MANIFEST:NO /OPT:REF /OPT:ICF")

aux_source_directory(. SRC_LIST)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} WIN32 ${SRC_LIST})

Here is the output log:

And your can see that "/MANIFEST:NO" not work for MSVC.
My MSVC version:

I search the whole web, but can not find a way to solved this issue.
So, If your find some time, please have a look.

This has already been fixed in the nightly dev builds of CMake. You can wait for the forthcoming CMake 2.8.5 release (about a month to 6 weeks away) or you can use a nightly dev build of CMake until then.

Sorry for the false resolution as duplicate... I didn't read your report closely enough.

It's still not a CMake bug, though.

This line:
set(CMAKE_LINK_FLAGS "${CMAKE_LINK_FLAGS} /MANIFEST:NO /OPT:REF /OPT:ICF")

Sets a variable that CMake does not know about. CMAKE_LINK_FLAGS does not exist.

You should use one of the following instead:

Variables:
  http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#variable:CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS [^]
  (or CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS for shared libraries, or CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS for modules)

Target property:
  http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#prop_tgt:LINK_FLAGS [^]

I will close this as "no change required" since you should be able to set "/MANIFEST:NO" with the "NMake Makefiles" generator as long as you use the appropriate CMake variable or property.
